In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

GR`ASSHOPPER, n. [grass and hop.] An animal that lives among grass, a species of Gryllus.
Any jumping, orthopterous
insect, of the families Acrididæ and
Locustidæ. The species and genera are very numerous.
The former family includes the Western grasshopper or locust
(Caloptenus spretus), noted for the great extent of its
ravages in the region beyond the Mississippi. In the Eastern United
States the red-legged (Caloptenus femurrubrum and C.
atlanis) are closely related species, but their ravages are less
important. They are closely related to the migratory locusts of the
Old World. See Locust.
* The meadow or green grasshoppers belong to the Locustidæ. They have long antennæ, large ovipositors, and stridulating organs at the base of the wings in the male. The European great green grasshopper (Locusta viridissima) belongs to this family. The common American green species mostly belong to Xiphidium, Orchelimum, and Conocephalus. In ordinary square or upright pianos of
London make, the escapement lever or jack, so made that it can be
taken out and replaced with the key; -- called also the
hopper.
